This book explores why English Christians, from the early modern
period onwards, believed that their nation had a special mission to
restore the Jews to Palestine. It examines English support for
Jewish restoration from the Whitehall Conference in 1655 through to
public debates on the Jerusalem Bishopric in 1841. Rather than
claiming to replace Israel as God's "elect nation", England was
"chosen" to have a special, but inferior, relationship with the
Jews. Believing that God "blessed those who bless" the Jewish
people, this national role allowed England to atone for
ill-treatment of Jews, read the confusing pathways of providence,
and guarantee the nation's survival until Christ's return. This
book analyses this mode of national identity construction and its
implications for understanding Christian views of Jews, the self,
and "the other". It offers a new understanding of national
election, and of the relationship between apocalyptic prophecy and
political action.
